What could be more embarrassing than having slept with your new boss ... when you both were teenagers?

That's the situation the heroine of my contemporary romance novel, Falling for the Prodigal Son, finds herself in. Set in the affluent waterfront village of St. Caroline on Maryland's Eastern Shore -- sailing mecca and summer playground for the wealthy and powerful of Washington, DC -- Falling for the Prodigal Son throws two teenaged lovers from opposite sides of the track back together ... with explosive results.

Sterling Matthew has resented the Chesapeake Inn since he was a child, and resented his parents for spending more time with the Inn than they did with him. After college, he took his trust fund and moved to Europe. But now his father is dying and his mother has summoned him home to run the Inn. Sterling plans to do whatever it takes to put the Inn back on sound financial footing so he can leave St. Caroline as quickly as possible—and this time for good.

When Lucy Wyndham, now the Inn's marketing director, meets Sterling again after all these years, she fervently hopes he doesn't remember her—or their three nights together as teenagers. But those worries are quickly eclipsed by her anger when she learns that Sterling is planning to end the Kids Kamp, the Inn's summer camp for underprivileged kids. Lucy has a personal stake in the camp—she was a camper there herself as a teenager, an experience that turned her life around. Lucy is long over her schoolgirl crush on Sterling Matthew—and there is no way she's letting him get away with killing the summer camp!

Readers have said ...

"I simply loved this book so much. The connection between Sterling and Lucy was really strong and even 15 years later it was still there. It's a great love story and a good read."

"I can't pick just one thing I liked about this book. I enjoyed every minute of it. I was captivated by the story and how the characters in the book were so passionate about what they wanted. I will be recommending the book to my family and friends to read."

"I really enjoyed this book. There aren't any sex scenes, so if that's the kind of book you enjoy, I would suggest you pass. This book is about two people who learn how to love one another. Very clean, well written romance novel."
